I was thinking about the Dark Side having Dark cookies. Then I looked in the bread drawer and saw that we had a new package of Oreos. Then I went to sleep. When I woke up, I found I had a sudden desire to make a TIE fighter out of Oreos.

Then I figured that there are a billion other people on the Internet, and they've had plenty of time. Someone else has to have done it by now. So I did a Google search and a Google Images search. I found some neat Star Wars cakes and some even neater Star Wars cupcakes and even a Death Star cookie jar (hey, that rhymes!)... but no sign of a TIE fighter built out of Oreos. Sure, they're round instead of hexagonal, but they'd still make fairly good panels. Not sure what you'd do about the cockpit, though. Unless you scaled the whole thing up... Hmm...

Yes, was thinking of that. Except that I don't think there's enough filling. I'm also worried that it's too soft to hold its shape. So, like I said above... make the cockpit out of a donut hole. (Except not chocolate. Somehow, I forgot that TIE cockpits were gray. Oh, the shame!)

Of course, I also need an occasion, don't I?

I believe the perfect occasion is "Hatman wants to make a Tie fighter out of cookies". Also.. royal icing is like the edible version of superglue. It dries very hard and is good for holding stuff in place.

Yes, it would be the perfect occasion, except for two things:

1. HatMan is diabetic.

2. HatMan is overweight.

(Also, HatMan is lazy. And does not have anyone at home who would even begin to appreciate the spiffyness of the idea. Quite the opposite, really.)

HatMan has heard of royal icing and seen it used on TV, but has never attempted to make or use it IRL.

HatMan is now done talking about himself in the third person. For now.
